Great way to spend half a day with your family, enjoying breathtaking views and learning new things on the way!Carefully designed space, filled with interactive content. On top of it, it feels good knowing that a portion of the ticket price goes to good causes.

It was very disappointing, no dolphins, etc. I used to take my son years ago & it was so nice. The only nice part was the play area for young kids. Unfortunately my niece is too old for it.

Love visiting the aquarium! The exhibits are beautifully maintained and the animals all seem healthy and stimulated. The sea lion show [included with admission] was wonderful! Our favorite was the shark exhibit, especially the underwater tunnel.
The New York Aquarium is the oldest continually operating aquarium in the United States, having opened in Castle Garden in Battery Park, Manhattan in 1896. Since 1957, it has been located on the Riegelmann Boardwalk in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The aquarium is operated by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) as part of its integrated system of four zoos and one aquarium, most notably the Bronx Zoo. It is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
Please note: last entry to the aquarium is one hour prior to park closing.
